Installation
To install the theme, follow these steps:

- Create a top-level
.env file and paste your API key into it. - Customize the chatbot’s name and behavior in the
app/routes/index.tsx file, following the comments provided. For example, you can make the chatbot a Western prospector or a pop singer. - Create a logo using Stable Diffusion. You can try a prompt like “A friendly wizard in the style of a comic book”. Once you have a logo you like, use Favicon.io to create favicons. The website will generate a zip file containing all the different sized icons you need. Copy these icons into the
public/ directory and overwrite the existing files. - Run the theme locally to test it.
- Deploy the theme to production by signing up for Cloudflare Pages, which offers a generous free tier. Create a new project in the Cloudflare Pages UI and connect it to your chatbot repository. It will automatically deploy every time you push to the master branch.
- Enjoy using your customized chatbot to amuse your friends and enrage your enemies.
